HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
He likely needs to be reassessed by his doctor since the pain is continuing and it is restricting his diet.
Steroids and antibiotics have not been found to be helpful for many persons who ingest kerosene.
Pain may be due to irritation of the stomach lining so the use of medications such as pepcid or zantac may be helpful but it would be best to speak to his doctor.
I hope this helps
